This project is an examination of the communication and publishing implications of producing an e-zine delivered to readers via e-mail with print-magazine style presentation, and then supporting it with a website.Several communication issues are raised, such as the potential for reaching international audiences for little or no additional effort and cost. The very structure of the publishing environment is opened to question by this style of communicating and the model preferred by the publisher is constantly open to review - particularly when the potential to direct influence of the audience on the final product is taken into account.This project has indicated some avenues for maximising the potential for this style of web publishing down a number of paths, including that of becoming a true multi-media production. At the same time it has raised many questions on the future of publishing, the internet, and the world wide web, while highlighting the relative infancy of the sector.
